Analysis for opinion feature

In Julia O'Malleys article, she brought a very professional style of writing. However, she did seem a little frustrated with the people she wrote the article about. The story was basically about her not being allowed into a campaign event for Senate candidate, Joe Miller.
She described how she was told to leave and that the press was not allowed in are allowed to talk to the candidate. This was a further frustration since O'Malley was not even there to talk to the candidate, but more to talk to the other people their and to get a feel for how he interacts with people.She also wanted to get an idea of what voters themselves were thinking. 
She made an attempt to be fair and evenhanded and she succeeded. She also did a very good job at describing the the story, she provided a lot of details about where the event was located, she also did a good job at describing the overall atmosphere.
She maintained an objective tone throughout the story, never jumping to any conclusions. The next day Miller's campaign said that the whole situation was mistake and a big miscommunication. They said that O'Malley should have been allowed to stay. O'Malley and other people from the media were allowed to attend future events, professionally, O'Malley accepted and said she would love to get the opportunity to speak with people. However, she still remained somewhat skeptical.
